OK... AFACT, in order to be able to pass the mouse between your two screens on
Solaris, you must have the following entry in /usr/dt/config/Xservers:
:0 Local local_uid_at_console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun -dev /dev/fb0:/dev/fb1
which says that the X server should control both displays, and allow mouse
passthrough. You may list more screens than this (I believe Solaris supports
as many as you have slots for video cards), and they will allow horizontal
passthrough in the order listed.
The other way to list multiple screens is to give a -dev argument for each
screen, but this does not allow mouse passthrough.
I've just now started tackling how to configure fvwm2 to deal with both
screens, so more as news breaks, but so far I seem to be running completely
seperate instances of fvwm in each screen, which do not know about one
another, and I don't seem to be able to pass windows back and forth at all.
I'm running Solaris 7 (nee 2.7) on an Ultra 1, with two crappy 8-bit displays;
fvwm version 2.2
Hope this helps...
